Marketing Manager - 6 month contract

About this role

Marketing Manager: Luxury Launch Event As the Marketing Manager, you will be the creative and strategic engine behind the launch of a prestigious new international event in Saudi Arabia, positioned at the very top of the luxury landscape. This is a rare brief: build a brand's marketing presence from zero, craft its story, and convert it into commercial results, high-value audiences, qualified leads, and revenue support for the sales team.

This role is equal parts taste and numbers. You will shape how a world-class luxury brand looks, sounds, and feels, and prove it works through MQLs, audience growth, and registration performance. Key Responsibilities & Deliverables Brand & Storytelling · Craft and own the event's brand narrative: a unique, compelling story that positions it as a landmark on the global luxury calendar. · Ensure every touchpoint, social, digital, print, on-site, reflects a premium, considered aesthetic.

You are the guardian of taste. · Direct creative development across campaigns: from concept and art direction through to final output, working with designers, photographers, videographers, and agencies. · Build the brand world: tone of voice, visual language, content style, and the experiences that bring it to life. Social Media & Organic Marketing · Own the organic and social strategy end to end: platform selection, content pillars, publishing, and community growth for an ultra-high-end audience.

· Create and oversee content that feels editorial, not promotional: the standard is luxury publishing. · Build relationships with tastemakers, influencers, and premium media whose audiences match ours. · Drive earned visibility through storytelling moments, partnerships, and PR-worthy creative. Lead Generation & Commercial Performance · Drive high-quality MQLs for the sales team through inbound marketing, targeted LinkedIn campaigns, and content-led capture, quality of lead over volume.

· Own registration and attendance targets for defined audience tiers, with weekly pacing reports against goals. · Support exhibitor and partnership sales with campaign assets, audience insight, and lead intelligence that helps deals close. · Balance both sides of the role: campaigns must be beautiful and accountable, every creative decision ultimately serves audience acquisition and revenue. Audience & Data Build · Build the audience database from the ground up: identifying, sourcing, and growing a high-value contact base across key international markets.
